FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: 

  • Q – “My screen is dead / black and I get NO audio - will this product fix my issue?”
  • A – In most cases, yes. Some vehicles are prone to the APIM failing causing a blank screen. If you have a black screen and no audio, this will likely fix the issue.

  • Q – “My screen is dead / black but I can still hear and control the radio - will this product fix my issue?”
  • A – No. If the screen is black, but the radio plays and you can control the track / volume from the physical buttons, then the issue is likely the touchscreen has failed.

  • Q – “I can see what is being displayed on screen, but the screen does not respond to touch input - will this product fix my issue?”
  • A – No. The touchscreen has failed and requires replacement. See our "Replacement Touchscreen for SYNC 3"

  • Q – “I get the error "Entertainment Unavailable" and I cant access any music sources. Will replacing the APIM fix this error.”
  • A – No. This is an issue with the ACM. Contact us for replacement information. 

  • Q – “I no longer get audio from any of my sources (AM/FM/XM/CD) but the touchscreen still works. Will replacing the APIM fix this error.”
  • A – No. This is an issue with the ACM. Contact us for replacement information. 

  • Q – “Does this need to be programmed at the dealer?”
  • A – No. We pre-program the module using the VIN you provide at checkout. 

  • Q – “My backup camera does not work, will this fix it?”
  • A – No. Backup camera failures are common. If the backup camera is not working, it will need to be replaced. 

  • Q – “If I update my Sync system using the Ford SyncMyRide website, will that cause the navigation feature to be deactivated?”
  • A – No. A consumer installed software update will NOT affect this navigation upgrade.

  • Q – “Will this kit void my factory warranty?”
  • A – No. This kit will not void your vehicle warranty. Although Ford will not warranty the components in our kit, we do for one full year!

  • Q – “Will this kit affect my SiriusXM subscription?”
  • A – No. SiriusXM subscriptions are NOT affected by our kit - your SiriusXM ID will remain the same.

  • Q – “Will this kit void my factory warranty?”
  • A – No. This kit will not void your vehicle warranty. Although Ford will not warranty the components in our kit, we do for one full year!

  • Q – “Will this kit affect my SiriusXM subscription?”
  • A – No. SiriusXM subscriptions are NOT affected by our kit - your SiriusXM ID will remain the same.

    Sync 3 APIM replacement

    Posted by Zed on Sep 4th 2026

    Arrived quickly after ordered, packaged well, plugged it in and it worked perfectly. Zero issues. Hopefully I don’t have to but I’d order it again from them. Way cheaper than $1800 I was quoted from the dealership.

    The right choice

    Posted by Randy Weestrand on Jun 16th 2026

    2017 F150: There was a 20 - 60 lag time in screen commands, commands didn't take me where they were supposed to, the GPS seemed to wander off the road, among other issues. Hard reboot and returning to factory default didn't help. This did. It was easy to install using trim removal tools, and it's working perfectly.

    Replacement APIM

    Posted by Tom Lassanske on Jun 3rd 2026

    Replacement APIM worked as soon as power was applied.
    Nice to have radio and car play back after being out for 8 months.

    Sync3 replacement APIM

    Posted by Larry on May 5th 2026

    I was worried about the serial numbers being and older version that the one i removed. This was not an issue and the latest version of software was installed. The package came very securely wrapped with great protection. I wish that i had noticed the return module and military option when i was shopping. I still need to install the USB connector for carplay (old ones arent working). All in all a good deal on a product that works exactly as designed.
